I Can’t Believe The Mets Are Letting Pete Alonso Walk

I Can’t Believe The Mets Are Letting Pete Alonso Walk

The job of a general manager is to figure out why a team is winning and why a team is losing. Clearly, David Stearns doesn’t have a pulse on reality because there is one big reason why the Mets advanced in the postseason last year. Oh, how people can forget about what a hero Pete Alonso was for this Mets team last postseason?

It’s been reported that the Mets expect Alonso to sign elsewhere this offseason. This comes on the heels of the Mets offering the slugging first baseman a disrespectful three-year deal worth around $68-70 million.

I have no clue what the Mets are doing. All I know is letting Alonso leave feels like an insane mistake. New York was 7th in runs scored last year. Good luck repeating that without the power bat in your lineup. Sure better hope Mark Vientos is the real deal or your entire season just went to hell.

Should The Mets Trade Pete Alonso?

Answer me this. WTF is the point of having Steve Cohen if he’s not willing to pay the only guy in the lineup who can hit homers? Over the last four years, Alonso has averaged over 39 homers per year. That’s not including a 53 homer season as a rookie. I don’t know who needs to tell the Mets this but guys like that are extremely hard to find and don’t grow on trees.

Explain to me how the Mets can gloat about how much money they have and then aren’t willing to pay the power bat? NOW you’re conscious of your spending? Do we get how insane this is?

It’s things like this as to why the Mets will always remain cursed. This is what happens when you put a nerd in charge. I’m quite sure the analytics chart told Stearns not to invest in an aging first baseman. Except when you realize the people who have balls understand you can’t put a price tag on what Freddie Freeman provided the Dodgers.

The Mets will live to regret this decision. You don’t start cutting corners on guys with 40+ homer upside when you have unlimited money.
